Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A method of sensing environment parameters for a plant using a probe comprising: sensing, using a first sensor board, one or more environment parameters at one or more submerged depth located at flexible points of a location; sensing, using a second sensor board, one or more environment parameters at one or more surface points located at flexible points of the location; communicating using a circuit board the sensed environment parameters to a central controller; using a low power mode for operating as per the frequency of a basestation in a double star configuration.
2. The method of claim 1 further comprising: installing the probe at the location by hammering the probe in.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the location is part of a hydroponic or aeroponic system.
4. The method of claim 1 further comprising: minimizing the hysteresis effect of water by placing a glass or a hydrophilic polyester film on top of an epoxy layer covering the sensor boards; separating the sensor boards from a component measuring the sensor data to get closer for the sensor boards with the environment and protect the component from damage.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the low power mode uses a battery or a solar panel.
6. A method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more environment parameters include one or more of the following: moisture, salinity, or temperature.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the circuit board uses a radio frequency components to communicate wirelessly to a local area network and the central controller is located within the wireless range irrespective of availability of any cellular or satellite wireless network coverage.
8. A method of sensing environment parameters for a field of plants using two or more probes, each probe comprising: sensing, using a first sensor board, one or more environment parameters at one or more submerged depth located at flexible points of a location; sensing, using a second sensor board, one or more environment parameters at one or more surface points located at flexible points of the location; communicating using a circuit board the sensed environment parameters to a central controller; using a low power mode for operating as per the frequency of a basestation in a double star configuration.
9. The method of claim 8 further comprising: recovering the sensed environment parameters using another central controller as fail-over when the central controller fails.
10. The method of claim 8 , wherein one or more probes are selected for learning a new formula and the learnt formula is subsequently applied to the remaining probes.
11. A system of sensing environment parameters for a plant using a probe comprising: a first sensor board adapted to sense one or more environment parameters at one or more submerged depth located at flexible points of a location; a second sensor board adapted to sense one or more environment parameters at one or more surface points located at flexible points of the location; a circuit board adapted to communicate the sensed environment parameters to a central controller; wherein the system is adapted to operate in a low power mode as per the frequency of a basestation in a double star configuration.
12. The system of claim 11 further comprising: the probe made of rigid and strong material including one or more of steel, plexiglass, polycarbonate or fiberglass to allow hammering the probe in at a desired location.
13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the location is part of a hydroponic or aeroponic system.
14. The system of claim 11 further comprising: a glass or a hydrophilic polyester film covering placed on the top of an epoxy layer covering the sensor boards to minimize the hysteresis effect of water; separated sensor boards from a component measuring the sensor data to get closer contact for the sensor boards with the environment and protect the component from damage.
15. The system of claim 11 , wherein the low power mode uses a battery or a solar panel.
16. A system of claim 11 , wherein the one or more environment parameters include one or more of the following: moisture, salinity, or temperature.
17. The system of claim 11 , wherein the circuit board uses a radio frequency components to communicate wirelessly to a local area network and the central controller is located within the wireless range irrespective of availability of any cellular or satellite wireless network coverage.
18. A system of sensing environment parameters for a field of plants using two or more probes, each probe comprising: a first sensor board adapted to sense one or more environment parameters at one or more submerged depth located at flexible points of a location; a second sensor board adapted to sense one or more environment parameters at one or more surface points located at flexible points of the location; a circuit board adapted to communicate the sensed environment parameters to a central controller; wherein the system is adapted to operate in a low power mode as per the frequency of a basestation in a double star configuration.
19. The system of claim 18 further comprising: another central controller adapted to recover the sensed environment parameters for fail-over when the central controller fails.
20. The system of claim 18 , wherein one or more probes are selected for a self learning a new formula and the learnt formula is subsequently applied to the remaining probes.
